The European Court of Justice's Transformation of its Approach towards Preliminary References from Member State Administrative Bodies 欧洲法院对成员国行政机构初步参考的转变

Abstract According to Article 267 TFEU, a ‘court or tribunal of a Member State’ can make a preliminary reference to the Court of Justice. The Court applies a single, homogeneous definition of a ‘court or tribunal’. This has allowed it to admit references from those specialised, independent, administrative bodies that in several Member States have been established instead of administrative courts to decide claims under public law, including EU law. Whether such a ‘dispute settling’ body is entitled to submit a preliminary reference normally depends upon whether it commands sufficient ‘independence’ vis-à-vis both the parties to the dispute and the public administration as such. The Court has tightened these requirements appreciably in connection with the threats against the independence of the judiciary in some Member States, and the consequent more prominent roles that Articles 19 TEU and 47 of the Charter have come to play. Whereas safeguarding the rule of law is of utmost importance, these provisions pursue objectives within the Union's legal order which are materially different from those pursued by Article 267. In this article, it is therefore argued that the Court should apply different constructions of the independence criterion with respect to these provisions.
根据TFEU第267条,“成员国的法院或法庭”可以向欧洲法院提出初步参考。法院对“法院或审裁处”采用单一、同质的定义。这使它可以接受一些会员国设立的专门的、独立的行政机构而不是行政法院的参考,以根据包括欧盟法在内的公法裁决索赔。这种“争端解决”机构是否有权提交初步参考,通常取决于它对-à-vis争端双方和公共行政当局是否具有足够的“独立性”。鉴于某些会员国对司法独立的威胁,以及因此《宪章》第19条和第47条所起的更加突出的作用,本院大大加强了这些要求。虽然维护法治是最重要的,但这些条款所追求的是欧盟法律秩序内的目标,与第267条所追求的目标有很大不同。因此,本文认为,法院应该对这些条款适用独立性标准的不同解释。

Saving Football from Itself: Why and How to Re-make EU Sports Law 拯救足球:为什么以及如何重新制定欧盟体育法

Abstract EU sports law has conventionally been understood to involve the assembly of the several decisions of the Court of Justice and the Commission that apply free movement and competition law to the practices of governing bodies. The influence of these decisions has generated change in some aspects of sporting governance, in the EU, and beyond. But the EU does not set the terms according to which sport shall be organised. This article makes the case for the EU moving beyond its orthodox approach to sports law, which is rooted in the accidents of litigation, and also choosing to embrace a role as a regulator. This will diminish the autonomy that governing bodies in sport have long prized, but the article asserts the need for this in order to address the conflict of interest to which governing bodies fall prey when they perform regulatory functions while also making commercially significant choices. It is, however, unclear whether the political will needed to propel EU sports law beyond the application of internal market law to embrace also the establishment of mandatory ex ante standards can be assembled.
欧盟体育法通常被理解为涉及法院和委员会的几项决定的集合,这些决定将自由运动和竞争法应用于理事机构的实践。这些决定的影响已经在欧盟和其他地区的体育管理的某些方面产生了变化。但欧盟并没有制定体育组织的条款。这篇文章提出了欧盟超越其传统的体育法律方法的理由,这种方法植根于诉讼事故,并选择接受监管者的角色。这将削弱体育管理机构长期以来所珍视的自主权,但这篇文章断言,这样做的必要性是为了解决管理机构在履行监管职能的同时做出具有商业意义的选择时所遭受的利益冲突。然而,目前尚不清楚的是,是否能够集结所需的政治意愿,推动欧盟体育法超越对内部市场法的适用,同时接受建立强制性事前标准。

Block Exemption Regulations and Public Policy: in The Defence of BERS 块豁免法规与公共政策:为ber辩护
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-09-06 DOI: 10.1017/cel.2022.1

Abstract This article defends Block Exemption Regulations (‘BERs’) as a legitimate and effective tool for the consideration of public policy within Article 101 of the TFEU enforcement. Going against popular opinion, it argues that as the expression of a clearly defined EU-wide political consensus, BERs carry several advantages over the traditional balancing tools of Article 101(1) and (3) individual exceptions, guidelines, or balancing by the exercise of enforcement discretion. BERs offer pre-determined and transparent rules, safeguarding the independent competition authorities’ political accountability and democratic legitimacy, promoting uniformity and legal certainty, reducing compliance and enforcement costs, inviting scrutiny and debate, and fostering experimentalism and flexibility.
摘要本文为《集体豁免条例》(“BERs”)辩护,认为其是在TFEU执行第101条范围内考虑公共政策的合法有效工具。与民意相反,它认为,作为欧盟范围内明确定义的政治共识的表达,与第101条第(1)款和第(3)款的传统平衡工具相比,BER具有几个优势,即个别例外、指导方针或通过行使执行自由裁量权进行平衡。BER提供预先确定的透明规则,保障独立竞争主管机构的政治问责制和民主合法性,促进统一性和法律确定性,降低合规和执法成本,吸引审查和辩论,并培养实验性和灵活性。

Sincere Cooperation between EU and Member States in the Field of Readmission: The More the Merrier? 欧盟与成员国在外交领域的真诚合作:越愉快?
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.1017/cel.2021.10
Caterina Molinari
Abstract Cooperation with third countries on readmission has occupied an increasingly prominent place in the EU's migration management strategy. The EU and its Member States have progressively concluded an extensive set of bilateral and multilateral, binding and non-binding, cooperation instruments on readmission. This proliferation questions the field's coherence with the principle of sincere cooperation, governing the interplay between the Union's and Member States’ action. By taking this principle as a benchmark, the article highlights the ineffective nature of the current ‘unprincipled’ pursuit of readmission goals. It also demonstrates that sincere cooperation—if read together with subsidiarity—does not necessarily favour the Union's international action, to the detriment of the Member States’. Rather, it requires a good faith effort to identify, and stand by, the most effective level of action.
摘要与第三国在重新接纳问题上的合作在欧盟移民管理战略中占据了越来越突出的地位。欧盟及其成员国逐步缔结了一系列关于重新接纳的广泛的双边和多边、有约束力和无约束力的合作文书。这种扩散对该领域与真诚合作原则的一致性提出了质疑,真诚合作原则指导着欧盟和会员国行动之间的相互作用。文章以这一原则为基准,强调了当前“无原则”追求重新接纳目标的无效性。它还表明,真诚的合作——如果与辅助性一起解读的话——并不一定有利于欧盟的国际行动,损害成员国的利益。相反,它需要真诚的努力来确定并支持最有效的行动水平。

Promoting Fair Private Governance in the Platform Economy: EU Competition and Contract Law Applied to Standard Terms 平台经济中促进公平私人治理:适用于标准条款的欧盟竞争法和合同法
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.1017/cel.2021.11
J. Rutgers, W. Sauter
Abstract In recent years, a platform economy has emerged that is dominated by undertakings such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft. They have established a form of private governance vis-à-vis their consumers and customers by means of standard terms that create a risk of exploitation. This trend clashes with the internal market effort of the EU that is predicated on consumer rights and fair competition to address market failures such as market power, information asymmetry, and asymmetrical contractual dependency. In this article we examine how the resulting tensions can be addressed by means of EU competition and contract law. This is based on enforcing fairness by requiring (1) the implementation of proportionality—balancing interests—and (2) respect of the duty of care, in the sense of compliance by design. Jointly this can be seen as an expression of accountability that needs to be made explicit. Apart from pre-existing case law and legislation, we take into account the December 2020 Commission proposals for platform regulation, as well as behavioural insights into consumer behaviour.
近年来,以bb0、亚马逊、Facebook、苹果、微软等企业为主导的平台经济正在兴起。他们已经建立了一种针对-à-vis他们的消费者和客户的私人治理形式,通过标准条款创造了剥削的风险。这种趋势与欧盟的内部市场努力相冲突,欧盟的内部市场努力以消费者权利和公平竞争为基础,旨在解决市场失灵,如市场力量、信息不对称和不对称的合同依赖。在本文中,我们将研究如何通过欧盟竞争和合同法来解决由此产生的紧张关系。这是基于通过要求(1)实现比例平衡利益和(2)尊重注意义务(在设计合规的意义上)来强制公平。总之,这可以被看作是一种需要明确的问责制的表达。除了已有的判例法和立法外,我们还考虑了2020年12月委员会关于平台监管的建议,以及对消费者行为的行为洞察。

EU Competition Law as Responsive Law 欧盟竞争法作为应诉法
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.1017/cel.2021.9
Stavros Makris
Abstract This article proposes two broad ways to conceptualise EU competition law. EU competition law could be viewed as ‘autonomous law’ (‘AL’), namely as a closed normative system a technocratic tool consisting in a set of rules that prohibit undue restraints of trade. Or, EU competition law could be viewed as ‘responsive law’ (‘RL’), namely as a relatively open normative system and an interpretive practice that oscillates between openness and integrity. The responsiveness approach offers a compelling conceptualisation as it explains certain endogenous features of EU competition law: its fuzzy mandate, conceptually elastic vocabulary, and use of rules and standards. In addition, the responsiveness approach can clarify the role economics plays in EU competition law. It views economics as an ‘ideological science’, which, even though it cannot insulate this legal field from value disagreements and make it ‘autonomous’, it can provide a source for positive and normative interpretive statements. On this basis the responsiveness approach maintains that EU competition law is by design open—ie conceptually elastic and factually sensitive—and that its openness can enhance, but also undermine its integrity—ie its capacity to realise its objective in a rule of law compatible manner. These conflicts between openness and integrity are the cause of EU competition law's relative indeterminacy. To deal with the problem of indeterminacy, the RL approach proposes a tripartite legal-institutional modus operandi consisting in constructive interpretation, responsive enforcement, and catalytic adjudication. Hence, considering EU competition law as a form of responsive law has three major implications: first, it offers a new way for understanding how this legal field works and changes; second, it suggests a strategy for dealing with EU competition law's indeterminacy, and third it proposes a new framing for the discursive practices of EU competition law's epistemic community.
本文提出了两种广义的欧盟竞争法概念。欧盟竞争法可以被视为“自治法”(“AL”),即一个封闭的规范体系,一个由一套禁止不当贸易限制的规则组成的技术官僚工具。或者,欧盟竞争法可以被视为“响应性法律”(RL),即作为一个相对开放的规范体系和在开放性和完整性之间摇摆的解释实践。响应性方法提供了一个令人信服的概念化,因为它解释了欧盟竞争法的某些内生特征:其模糊的授权,概念弹性词汇,以及规则和标准的使用。此外,响应性方法可以明确经济学在欧盟竞争法中所扮演的角色。它将经济学视为一门“意识形态科学”,尽管它不能将这一法律领域与价值分歧隔离开来,并使其“自主”,但它可以为积极和规范的解释性陈述提供来源。在此基础上,响应性方法坚持认为,欧盟竞争法在设计上是开放的——即概念上的弹性和事实敏感性——其开放性可以增强,但也会破坏其完整性——即以法治相容的方式实现其目标的能力。这些公开性与完整性之间的冲突是欧盟竞争法相对不确定性的原因。为了解决不确定性问题,RL方法提出了一种由建设性解释、响应性执行和催化性裁决组成的三方法律制度运作方式。因此,将欧盟竞争法视为一种响应性法律有三个主要含义:首先,它为理解这一法律领域的运作和变化提供了一种新的途径;第二,提出了应对欧盟竞争法不确定性的策略;第三,提出了欧盟竞争法知识共同体话语实践的新框架。

EU Competition Law Devours Its Children: The Proliferation of Anti-Competitive Object and the Problem of False Positives 欧盟竞争法吞噬它的孩子:反竞争对象的扩散和假阳性问题
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.1017/cel.2021.2

Abstract In the last decade, EU competition law reached a major turning point in its history. Anti-competitive object became an elusive and unpredictable rule, which boosts the risk of false positives and has a significant chilling effect. This article analyses this metamorphosis and the social damages it is causing, and proposes an alternative conception. The article demonstrates that the emerging new concept of anti-competitive object erroneously conflates ‘contextual analysis’, which has been part of the object-inquiry from the outset, and ‘effects-analysis’, which has no role to play here. It submits that both doctrinal and policy reasons confirm that anti-competitive object should be a category-building principle of ‘judicial rule-making’ (‘definition of the definition’) and not applicable to individual arrangements directly.
摘要在过去的十年里,欧盟竞争法达到了其历史上的一个重大转折点。反竞争对象成为一种难以捉摸、不可预测的规则,这增加了误报的风险,并产生了显著的寒蝉效应。本文分析了这种蜕变及其造成的社会危害,并提出了另一种概念。这篇文章表明,反竞争客体这一新兴概念错误地将“语境分析”和“效果分析”混为一谈,前者从一开始就是客体探究的一部分,后者在这里没有任何作用。它认为,理论和政策原因都证实,反竞争对象应是“司法规则制定”(“定义的确定”)的类别构建原则,而不直接适用于个别安排。

So Long Solange? The PSPP Judgment of the German Constitutional Court and the Conflict between the German and the European ‘Popular Spirit’ 如此漫长的孤独?德国宪法法院的PSPP判决与德国与欧洲“大众精神”的冲突
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-11-23 DOI: 10.1017/cel.2021.3
P. Hilpold
Abstract The judgment by the German Constitutional Court (‘BVerfG’) of 5 May 2020 has caused a stir all over Europe. The relationship between the BVerfG and the European Court of Justice (‘ECJ’) has never been an easy one, especially after the Solange judgment of 1974. The Solange jurisprudence has, however, not only been synonymous with conflict and rivalry but also for dialogue and, eventually, mutual respect. With the PSPP judgment, this dialogue seemed to have found an end, while by the order of 29 April 2021 the BVerfG appears to have returned to a more conciliatory tone. Nonetheless, the disruption between Karlsruhe and Luxembourg persists. In this article, the PSPP judgment will be examined in detail, presenting it as the last step of long, contorted jurisprudence. It will be shown that the rupture that occurred in May 2020 was technically unnecessary and rather the result of deep-rooted cultural conflict with a clear economic background. The legal reasoning on both sides—that of the BVerfG and that of the PSPP judgment's most outspoken critics—is problematic at best. While for the time being the BVerfG seems to have learnt the lesson from the conflict provoked by its own judgment, the underlying, substantive conflict is still unresolved. It will be shown that this conflict can only be solved on a political level. Thereby, cultural pre-concepts will have to be overcome. Uncompromising reliance on a national ‘popular spirit’ (Volksgeist) will not offer a way out but neither will, for the time being, exclusive reference to a European Volksgeist ignoring Member State realities. The ‘weighing and balancing’ the BVerfG has missed in the previous Weiss ECJ preliminary ruling (again on the PSPP programme) will have to take place on a far broader scale.
2020年5月5日,德国宪法法院(“BVerfG”)的判决在整个欧洲引起了轰动。BVerfG和欧洲法院(ECJ)之间的关系从来就不容易,特别是在1974年索朗热判决之后。然而,索朗热法理学不仅是冲突和竞争的同义词,也是对话和最终相互尊重的同义词。随着PSPP的判决,这种对话似乎已经结束,而到2021年4月29日的命令,BVerfG似乎又回到了更和解的语气。尽管如此,卡尔斯鲁厄和卢森堡之间的隔阂依然存在。在本文中,PSPP的判决将被详细审查,呈现它作为漫长的,扭曲的法理学的最后一步。2020年5月发生的破裂在技术上是不必要的,而是根深蒂固的文化冲突和明确的经济背景的结果。双方的法律推理——BVerfG和PSPP判决中最直言不讳的批评者——充其量是有问题的。虽然目前联保部队似乎已经从它自己的判断所引起的冲突中吸取了教训,但根本的实质性冲突仍然没有得到解决。这将表明,这场冲突只能在政治一级得到解决。因此,必须克服文化先入为主的观念。不妥协地依赖国家的“大众精神”(Volksgeist)不会提供出路,但目前也不会只提到欧洲的大众精神,而忽视成员国的现实。BVerfG在之前的Weiss欧洲法院初步裁决(同样是关于PSPP计划)中错过的“权衡和平衡”将不得不在更广泛的范围内进行。
{"title":"So Long Solange? The PSPP Judgment of the German Constitutional Court and the Conflict between the German and the European ‘Popular Spirit’","authors":"P. Hilpold","doi":"10.1017/cel.2021.3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/cel.2021.3","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract The judgment by the German Constitutional Court (‘BVerfG’) of 5 May 2020 has caused a stir all over Europe. The relationship between the BVerfG and the European Court of Justice (‘ECJ’) has never been an easy one, especially after the Solange judgment of 1974. The Solange jurisprudence has, however, not only been synonymous with conflict and rivalry but also for dialogue and, eventually, mutual respect. With the PSPP judgment, this dialogue seemed to have found an end, while by the order of 29 April 2021 the BVerfG appears to have returned to a more conciliatory tone. Nonetheless, the disruption between Karlsruhe and Luxembourg persists. In this article, the PSPP judgment will be examined in detail, presenting it as the last step of long, contorted jurisprudence. It will be shown that the rupture that occurred in May 2020 was technically unnecessary and rather the result of deep-rooted cultural conflict with a clear economic background. The legal reasoning on both sides—that of the BVerfG and that of the PSPP judgment's most outspoken critics—is problematic at best. While for the time being the BVerfG seems to have learnt the lesson from the conflict provoked by its own judgment, the underlying, substantive conflict is still unresolved. It will be shown that this conflict can only be solved on a political level. Thereby, cultural pre-concepts will have to be overcome. Uncompromising reliance on a national ‘popular spirit’ (Volksgeist) will not offer a way out but neither will, for the time being, exclusive reference to a European Volksgeist ignoring Member State realities. The ‘weighing and balancing’ the BVerfG has missed in the previous Weiss ECJ preliminary ruling (again on the PSPP programme) will have to take place on a far broader scale.","PeriodicalId":52109,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"159 - 192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41828707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
